Materials Data on AlO2 by Materials Project
AlO2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two AlO2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Al is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing AlO4 trigonal pyramids. There is three shorter (1.79 Å) and one longer (1.87 Å) Al–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Al atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al atom.
